The Getaway Reviews
no title
A good, solid, sexy, suspense thriller - all the cliches. James Stephens and David Morrison (St. Elsewhere) were also in it, but I couldn't find his name in the credits. I was pulled in and enjoyed it. From a Jim Thompson novel which I understand had a much bleaker ending.
Totally uninspired, with needlessly shocking scenes
Unlike some other reviewers, I thought the acting was alright, but only just. The story is so full of unlikeable characters, however, that I never really cared if they got caught or got away.
There is a lot of nudity and sexuality that was obviously thrown in to pander to the audience. One scene I found to be to be needlessly creepy and disturbing; Kidnapper Madsen and turncoat Tilly have sex in front of her anguished, captive husband, cruelly taunting him while he gruesomely kills himself.
This movie can't decide if it is a fast, fun, bubblegum action romp or a brooding allegory for something darker. It finds itself in middle ground that just doesn't work.
